Sad! I condole with the family and friends.

It's really disappointing but not surprising that such scenario would have happened in an institution like that. In this modern world, they still have a septic tank that needs maintenance but ignored fixing it at the expense of students' lives. I wonder what they use the money paid by the students for.

It's really sad! What a shithole country!

The hostel management must answer for this unfortunate and avoidable incident. These private hostels are very notorious for extorting students all in the name of hostel fee. They charge so much money yet no renovation, no upgrading of facilities, no face-lifting.

This is very sad, absolutely heart breaking. Imagine paying 200k (this amount is some people's 5 yrs school fees) for one small bed space NOT a whole room o. Is it not better to rent African Amphitheater? Parents definitely do all they wud to pay such monies just bc they don't want their child staying off campus for security reasons.

Management of Bver, YOU MUST GIVE ACCOUNT FOR THIS.

Oh great Ife may God heal you wound!

May Nigeria's lack of the provision of social amenities not kill us.

Until premium is placed on human life, thing like this will continue to happen. I do not share the sentiment that no amount of money equals a life that is lost. I believe if your action or inaction lead to lost of human lives, you should pay for it even it is by installments over years. In this case, government regulatory agency, school authority and hostel management should be held responsible for her death.

This country no value life....

See the big hole wey dem us broken doors cover... Chai

She just resumed last week and her corpse is already on the way to her parents.

I stay away from anything that looks like a covered hole, manholes and all. I've been a near victim before.

Rip to her, her parents will really be in so much pain and agony.

Fresh breasts and soft waist gone like that ... RIP

Naija, why nah. You can imagine the state of the septic tank in this 21st century

Everybody in that hostel ignored the unsafe condition.

Such a beauty just die like that, so sad!

What a way to die!

R.I.P young blood

The University will be presenting papers/journals on HSE. Graduating students on Health/safety.

Useless country that don't value human lives.
This must have been left open for years.

Quite unfortunate. That's why we advocate for use of Biodigester toilet systems. With such technology, this scenario can never occur and this preventable death will be history! Reach out to us for your own biodigester toilet system

Just watch how dey will fix it in a couple of days. If terrible things don't ensue from careless acts in Nigeria, people don't tend to act.
There's nothing like preventive measures in Nigeria.

Tragic

What a horrible way to die

How on Earth did that happen in a school? If na exam now Dem nor go hesitate to give you zero if you nor cover the septic tank after Dem ask you, how it's been constructed o.

What a useless country, all these type of holes serving as death trap still plenty for our country and government only cares in looting for themselves, families and friends

What a waste

What a shame
